What it launched against
Splasher launched on 7 February 2017, within three weeks of Horizon Zero Dawn, NieR: Automata, Hollow Knight and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
